| Reverse description | A large Greek numeral epsilon (ϵ), denoting the value of five nummi, occupies the central field. The epsilon typically encloses two pellets within its form, though examples with one pellet or none are also known. An officina letter appears to the right of the central mark, identifying the workshop responsible for striking the coin. The design is stark and functional, reflecting the utilitarian character of this small bronze denomination introduced under Anastasius I's monetary reform of 498 AD. |
